WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) – Gov. Kathy Hochul is making a sweep through the north country Wednesday.
She’s on a tour to thank health care workers for their hard work during the pandemic.
The governor visited Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown Wednesday morning. She didn’t take time to speak with reporters.
The event was closed to the press, but Samaritan spokesperson Leslie DiStefano shared what the governor had to say.
“Really wanted to thank the people working on the front lines of COVID,” DiStefano said. “That was really the individuals that we had there. Really talk to them, learn a little bit about what they do on a day-in, day-out basis for our COVID care. And then thank them for everything that they’re doing and making certain that they hear her message about vaccines and trying to get resources where they’re needed.”
Also on her schedule is a stop at Canton-Potsdam Hospital and a COVID-19 briefing at 1:45 p.m. at Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh.
